The Kimwood Clip-On Ring Light is designed for universal compatibility, fitting easily onto phones, tablets, and laptop screens. It features 60 LED chips, which is a higher count than many entry-level models, providing more even light distribution. The frosted polycarbonate diffuser helps soften the output, which is particularly helpful for reducing glare if you wear glasses during video calls.
Specifications indicate that this model offers five brightness levels and three color modes, giving you granular control over how you are illuminated. The 600mAh internal battery is designed for portable use, though users may notice the light dimming slightly after 20 minutes of continuous high-intensity use as a way to manage internal heat. The clip is designed with a strong spring to ensure it stays in place, though it is best to attach it gently to protect the thin bezels of modern laptops.
The housing is made of standard impact-resistant plastic. Because the clip undergoes mechanical stress every time it is opened, it is most durable when used on devices that match its intended thickness range. Recharging is handled via a Micro-USB port, making it easy to power up from a standard computer port or wall adapter between uses.
For users who find the clip-on style too bulky, a Telesin Magnetic Light offers a much slimmer profile for compatible smartphones.
